Wow, that makes me want to check it out more thoroughly (if I had the time)

I remember when CS Pro Mod was being made between the transition of CS 1.6, Source, the 1.6 community didn't want to move over to Source, before GO/CS2 came around.

Cool to see what's basically Quake1/doom style but this is a far fetch away from counter-strike. Although if netcode could be imagined and implemented I don't see why making a lower tier Counter-Strike wouldn't be doable. I'd play it if it were the quake style old-graphics version of CS that allowed for skill gaps.

Great article, love the nostalgic feeling.

That's really cool, makes me want to try building a 3d game myself. I've only made 2d ones so far. Personally prefer the gemini version.

Neat. FYI all the images on the site are TINY - might be a good idea to make add an interactive lightbox to them so we can see them without right-clicking and opening in a new tab.

Damn this is cool. Imagine an LLM trained extremely well on something like Unreal Engine.

I tried to find some code that wasn't minified to assess the quality of this, and I found some shader code for the sky in the gemini version. The whole shader looks like it was regurgitated verbatim. This wouldn't hold up to licensing scrutiny. Here's a snippet from it:

  // wavelength of used primaries, according to preetham
  const vec3 lambda = vec3( 680E-9, 550E-9, 450E-9 );
  // this pre-calcuation replaces older TotalRayleigh(vec3 lambda) function:
  // (8.0 * pow(pi, 3.0) * pow(pow(n, 2.0) - 1.0, 2.0) * (6.0 + 3.0 * pn)) / (3.0 * N * pow(lambda, vec3(4.0)) * (6.0 - 7.0 * pn))

Who's Preetham? Probably one of the copyright holders on this code.

Claude's has a funny bug where if you keep shooting a dead player before they respawn, you rack up kills fast. I thought I was doing so well until I realized. Impressive that they can get this far now.

Yeah, AI is not going to replace programmers any time soon!

I forgot what site it was but there used to be an online and browser playable CS 1.6. I don’t know if it was open source or not but there’s definitely code out their for this stuff so wouldn’t be surprised the models were trained on it.
